NBC’s Hannibal Sets Air Date

Leave your dinner plans wide open on April 4. A year to the date of when we first learned of NBC’s take on an early Hannibal Lecter, simply titled Hannibal, the show finally has a release date and time slot.

The show, confirmed for April 4, will take the 10 p.m. timeslot on Thursday nights. The announcement comes from creator Bryan Fuller’s Twitter, which said “#Hannibal Requests the Honor of your Presence for Dinner Thursday April 4 10PM @NBC — Saving you a place at the table.”

Fuller developed Hannibal as an hour-long drama, which is expected to detail the relationship between Dr. Lector and FBI profiler Will Graham. Until previews for the show start rolling out, you can take a look at another part of Fuller’s post, which included a photo of lead actor Mads Mikkelsen.
